Most online companies we did business with when our ship left port in 1997 did not remain afloat until even, say, half a decade later in 2002, nevermind 2007 or 2017, so to still be swashbuckling the high seas twenty years later means we reckon we’ve learned to “surf” what used be called the internet “wave” fairly adeptly (sorry, we know that’s truly awful, but we’re allowed some mischief on our Azamversary!)

Among the tide of celebratory events taking place this month, we are marking the occasion with the release of a bouncy short movie.

Entitled “Dot Com Bust and Boom; The Azam Marketing Autobiography: 1997-2017”, it features twenty pictures and video clips that chart the long and winding path we’ve walked along (see, we’ve jumped ship from the dire seafaring analogies!), from our conception in the nineties right up to the current day.

Enjoy it here:

Do you recall any of the occasions in the showreel?

I’ve been meeting the Azam folks at internet events in the UK for years.

The Manager, Nadeem, is the nicest guy in the industry. He supported me so much when I was starting my online business and was there for me seven days a week to share his expertise and connections to help me get off the ground, pro bono.

Kurt, Shane, Haroon, Rishi, and all the scores of people who’ve sent us messages via other platforms on our twentieth anniversary, thank you for your congratulatory remarks. It means a lot to us.

We’re chuffed you enjoy our video – we were slaving over it for weeks! We can see on the metrics on Youtube, Facebook and elsewhere, that the movie has received over 70,000 views already even though it has only been a few days since we released it, so we’re delighted lots of people are enjoying it.
